You get one chance in your life to have your jersey retired, and you only get that if you’ve been an incredibly important part of an NBA franchise’s history. You’ll live, on average, 28,740 days, and ONE of those days will be the day where you get to sit back and be like “I worked my ass off for fifteen years and I’m…

I am a Green Bay Packers fan. I loathe the Vikings. My family members that are Vikings fans get shit-talked constantly with comments like “North Dakota and the Minnesota have the same number of Super Bowl victories.” But when Diggs turned upfield on that play I lost my shit. I called my sister (a Vikings fan) and…

In my day four minutes was three punk songs.

I mean, the Lions win that game and they are still in the playoff hunt going into this week. Two of the examples above are from their game. So you were already proven at least halfway wrong.

Christmas is legally designated as a public holiday by every single country in the western hemisphere, as well as all of Europe and Oceania and most of Africa. The fact that a given individual does not participate in the rites and observances of a holiday does not make it not a holiday. If, on a particular day in your…

I see your point, but that’s not actually what the word “holiday” means. I am not Jewish, but I still think of Hanukkah as a holiday, because it is, in fact, a holiday. It may not be a holiday I personally celebrate, but it’s for sure a holiday!

I know a lot of people shit on Little Caesars, and I’m fully aware that it’s not great pizza by any stretch, I will firmly maintain that at 5 bucks and not having to order ahead, it’s worth that price. Throw on breadsticks and sauce and you’re golden. Papa John’s is far too expensive in relation to how terrible it is.

Not even. That term has been around at least since Goldeneye.

James Bond processes loss with explosions and gun fire, not by introspectively looking into the middle distance. I demand less nuance and depth from my James Bonds and more boom boom go fast!

Say what you will about the Show-Me State (and boy-howdy have we had a fucked-up few years), but when Todd Akin said that victims of “legitimate rape” can magically shut down pregnancy from happening, he got his butt kicked in what should have been a Republican win. Now, mind you, Todd Akin was never accused of raping…

I knows the conversation is long over but the 49ers-Bears game just proved Ol’ John Madden wrong again. Niners won 15-14 but Bears scored more TDs 2-0.

I can’t disagree with this take strongly enough. As long as Keenum is playing capably and the Vikings are winning, you can’t risk cratering the season by going back to a guy who hasn’t taken a meaningful snap in almost two full years. If Bradford hadn’t gotten hurt and was putting up the exact same numbers and W-L…

Is it really that surprising that someone frustrated with a bad team would not be willing to injure himself and potentially end his career for a losing season, but would sing a different tune for a team with legit SB hopes?

The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 effectively prohibits the broadcast of any NFL game played on Friday or Saturday during the high school or college football regular season. That’s why there aren’t any Saturday games until late in the NFL season (and, relatedly, why the NFL extended the season from 14 games to 16).

How is it that one can write for a sports website without any apparent sports knowledge? Oh right - Deadspin. Anyhow...

I rarely say this, but wow this is a short sighted article. The whole aspect of players getting hurt has been a part of football since the start of the game.. I am not stating that because I rejoice in it but that what you are calling “THE PROBLEM”.. has been there for decades.. how does this play, this hit, this…

Hey, going out to the bar for the games just got alot more appealing though.

As a lifelong Timberwolves fan, I am horrified by any situation that causes anyone to flip allegiances to my team.
